| Funding The Red District Campaign: Officeholders and PAC’s |
What is most difficult part of organizing the viable Red District Campaign? It is creating seed money funding and the resultant hiring of professional staff. When running against well-funded professionals, the Democratic Candidate needs professionals in his campaign as well. So it boils down to early money. As Emily’s List has said for so long: [...] |
| They’re Lunatics |
David Brooks tried to figure out why the Republican Party is in “shambles.” John Cole on Balloon Juice does a much better job explaining their problems: For starters, people got tired of being associated with these drooling retards. Then, when they realized that these drooling retards had ideological allies running the show in the Bush [...] |
| Krugman: Conservatives Are Such Jokers |
Sad but true… Paul Krugman nails the attitude of “today’s leading conservatives” who are “Reagan’s heirs.” If you’re poor, if you don’t have health insurance, if you’re sick — well, they don’t think it’s a serious issue.

| Bush’s Cynical, Callous SCHIP Veto |
The line was drawn in the sand today… Bush followed through with his threat to veto State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), “in a sharp confrontation with Congress.” It was only the fourth veto of Bush’s presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year’s elections. The [...] |
| Candidates, New Media and Supporting the Blogsphere |
So if they understand the importance of the Blogsphere and The Social Networking Sphere why aren't they supporting, in return, the very medium that gives them, essentially, a free unlimited forum? |
| Edwards: Rural America and Economic Fairness |
“We should have a national capital fund
to make money — capital — available to new businesses that will operate
and start in smaller towns and smaller communities. Right now all the
capital stays in big cities. We’ve got to get it out into the rural
areas.” |
| Kerry Staffer Called to Serve in Iraq |
In just a short couple of weeks, John Kerry and his staff will “bid farewell to Setti Warren, the deputy director of his Massachusetts office.” Warren is headed to Iraq, is “leaving to spend the next year in Iraq as a Navy intelligence officer.” Peter Gelzinis reports in the Boston Herald and catches perfectly the [...] |
